- By replacing a single bulb with a circuit board including a plurality of LEDs thereon it is possible to increase the brightness of the dome light. While a plurality of different bulbs may be utilized, it is preferable to use LEDs.
- Therefore, a primary object of the present invention is the provision of a circuit board containing a plurality of bulbs or light fixtures electrically connected to one another, which can replace a single bulb.
- A further object of the present invention is the provision of a circuit board having clamps on one surface thereof and having a plurality of bulbs or lights on the other surface thereof.
- A further object of the present invention is the provision of a circuit board having a pair of contacts which are attachable to and fit within the existing clamps in the fixture.
- A further object of the present invention is the provision of a replacement circuit board which utilizes a plurality of LEDs and which includes two contacts which engage the clamps within the fixture and are electrically connected to the LEDs.
- A further object of the present invention is the provision of a replacement circuit board which can be quickly and easily replaced within an existing dome light.
- A further object of the present invention is the provision of a replacement circuit board which is attractive in appearance, efficient in operation, and which utilizes a minimum of structure for the replacement of the bulbs.
- The foregoing objects may be achieved by a method for replacing a vehicle dome light comprising removing an existing bulb having first and second ends from the first and second clamps which engage the first and second ends respectively and which are free from electrical connection with one another except through the existing bulb. Next a replacement board is attached having a first contact and a second contact corresponding to the first and second clamps respectively. The replacement board has a plurality of replacement bulbs thereon electrically connected between the first and second contacts. Next, electricity is delivered to the first clamp whereby the replacement bulbs are lighted from the electricity passing through the first clamp, to the first contact, to the plurality of replacement bulbs, to the second contact, and to the second clamp.
- According to another feature of the present invention, the use of LEDs as replacement bulbs contributes a brighter light when lighted than the existing bulb when lighted.
- According to another feature of the present invention, the replacement board has a plurality of edges. The replacement board has one surface area comprising more area than the edges of the replacement board and another surface area comprising more area than the edges of the replacement board. The method further comprises placing the replacement bulbs on the one surface and placing the first and second contacts on the other surface.
- The foregoing objects may be achieved by an apparatus for replacing a dome light comprising an existing bulb having first and second metallic ends and a glass bulb containing a filament extending between the first and second metallic ends. The first and second metallic ends are electrically connected to one another through the filament. A fixture is provided that has first and second clamps fixed to the fixture. The existing bulb has first and second metallic ends removably clamped and electrically connected to the first and second clamps. A replacement board is capable of replacing the existing bulb. The replacement board has a plurality of replacement bulbs electrically connected to one another and a third clamp that is capable of clamping to the first clamp and a fourth clamp that is capable of clamping to the second clamp.

FIG. 7 is an enlarged perspective view of one of the bulbs and the clamps. - Referring to
FIGS. 6 and 7 , a priorart dome light 10 is shown. Dome light includes abase 12 comprising abox front 14, abox rear 16, a boxleft side 18, and a boxright side 20 and a box floor 21. Abox flange 22 extends around the upper edges of walls 14-20. - A
lens 24 includesapertures 26 for accommodatingswitches 28. - Mounted to the floor 21 is a first clamp or contact 30 and a second clamp or contact 32. These clamps include
wings 34, (FIG. 7 ) anarcuate portion 36, and aspace 38. The electrical circuitry is not shown in the drawings. - An existing
bulb 40 includes afirst end 42, asecond end 44, and aglass bulb 46 having afilament 48 therein which extends between thefirst end 42 and thesecond end 44. - As seen in
FIG. 7 , theclamps ends bulb 40. This is because thespaces 38 are slightly less than 180°, and theclamps bulb 40. Thebulb 46 includes thefilament 48 which extends between theopposite ends - The invention is shown in
FIGS. 1-5 . Areplacement board 50 is provided for replacing thebulb 40.Replacement board 50 includes aboard 52 which includes aparametric edge 54, afirst surface 56, and a second surface 58 (FIG. 3 ). Thesurfaces edges 54. Mounted on one of thesurfaces 56 are a plurality of LEDs. The LEDs may be replaced bybulbs 60 which may vary from LEDs. The LEDs (or other bulbs 60) are connected to one another and are also connected to first and second contacts orclamps second surface 58. The clamps orcontacts bulbs 60. Thus, the existing bulbs 40 (FIGS. 6 and 7 ) are replaced by thecontacts space 38 withinclamps contacts ends bulb 40. Furthermore, thecontacts bulbs 60 so that a plurality of bulbs orLEDs 60 replace thesingle bulb 46 and thefilament 48. - Referring to
FIG. 5 , acircuitry 66 includes aswitch 28 which is moveable between aninoperative contact 70 and anoperative contact 68. Similarly, a generator oralternator 72 and abattery 74 are provided in the circuitry and LEDs orbulbs 60 are mounted within theclamps contacts - The method of operation is as follows: The existing
bulbs 40 are removed from theclamps wings 34 thereof away from one another and releasing theends bulb 40 through thespaces 38. This leaves the device similar to what is shown inFIG. 1 .Replacement boards 50 are positioned in the manner shown inFIG. 1 and are depressed inwardly to theclamps second contacts 62, 64 (FIGS. 1-3 ) cause thespaces 38 to expand as a result of thewings 34 expanding radially outwardly in response to the insertion of thecontacts contacts ends bulb 40, and as a result, the insertion of thecontacts clamps FIG. 3 ). - When the
switch 28 is moved from theinoperative contact 70 to theoperative contact 68, electricity is delivered through theclamp 32 to theelectrical contact 64, to the LEDs orbulbs 60, to theelectrical contact 64 and to thefirst clamp 30. The circuitry is shown inFIG. 5 , but other types of circuitry may be utilized without detracting from the invention. - The invention has been shown and described above with the preferred embodiments, and it is understood that many modifications, substitutions, and additions may be made which are within the intended spirit and scope of the invention.
